Data fabric, data lakehouse, and data mesh have emerged as viable alternatives to the modern data warehouse. These more recent architecture frameworks have solid benefits, but they're also surrounded by a lot of hyperbole and confusion. This course provides a guided tour of each architecture to help data professionals understand the pros and cons.
|
|
|
The course begins with a review of common data architecture concepts and the traditional data warehouse including its evolution into the modern data warehouse. Then we’ll take a detailed look at the rise of data fabrics for seamless data integration and access. Next, we will cover the data lakehouse architecture that combines the best features of data lakes and data warehouses. Lastly, we will study the data mesh, a decentralized data architecture that treats data as a product.
We will delve into the fundamentals of each of these architectures, discussing their structure, use-cases, benefits, and challenges. We will explore how they fit into different business scenarios, their suitability for diverse data types, and the strategies used for their implementation and management.
By the end of the course, students will have a clear understanding of which data architecture frameworks are best suited for specific business needs and how to implement them effectively to ensure data integrity, availability, and usability.
